Catering for Different Graduation Party Styles

Goode Co. Catering & Events will ensure your graduation lunch or dinner is planned to match your style. Whether you’re hosting a small backyard gathering or a large-scale celebration, we provide flexible catering options that fit the size and atmosphere of your event.
For smaller, relaxed settings, like backyard parties, a buffet-style service is ideal. It allows guests to serve themselves and enjoy the food at their own pace, creating a laid-back dining experience. If you have a larger party, we’ll ensure there’s enough food for everyone, and you can choose from a variety of tried-and-true Texas recipes.
If you’d like a more formal atmosphere, plated service is a great option. This allows for an elevated dining experience, with each guest receiving their meal at their table. No matter the size of your party, Goode Co. Catering & Events will create the celebration you want to remember.
